[quote:Vision Thing:MV8yMTAzMDMzXzM1NDM4MDM5X0RDREZBMEQx] [quote:Anonymous Coward 27352798:MV8yMTAzMDMzXzM1NDM1NjcxXzQwOEY0OTg4] Be careful if you are ever buying a house in the area. Especially if it was owned by a CO or LEO. I've seen cases in the news where a drug dealer sold their (pimped out and therefore recognizable) car and the new owners were targeted and shot. Inmates and criminals might not keep up on the fact that it's no longer the guard's residence, but YOURS. They are just going by the list in their hand, and sometimes they have someone on the outside take their revenge for them so this could happen SOON. And if I were a prison guard with my address just published, my family would be moved out TODAY and my house would be on the market, just sayin'. That information is usually kept super confidential. [/quote] Scary shit! I've known people who work in the court system and they are very careful to keep their phone and residence under the radar, for good reason. You spell out some more sinister possible repercussions of this. [/quote]
Original Message
Law enforcement officials from a New York region where a local paper published a map identifying gun owners say prisoners are using the information to intimidate guards.
Rockland County Sheriff Louis Falco, who spoke at a news conference flanked by other county officials, said the Journal News' decision to post an online map of names and addresses of handgun owners Dec. 23 has put law enforcement officers in danger.
"They have inmates coming up to them and telling them exactly where they live. That's not acceptable to me," Falco said, according to Newsday.
Robert Riley, an officer with the White Plains Police Department and president of its Patrolman’s Benevolent Association, agreed.
